- {/ 2.6.18-rc2-no1 "No Soup 4 U!" \} -
   ---------------------------------
-{ Release-Specific }-
- The best release ever, NoSched series 100% re-done, 100% cleaner, staircase issues
  are ALL fixed, staircase now includes the scheduler patches from -ck, (ie: isoprio,
  idleprio, the compute and interactive tunable, and the rest). SUSPEND2 ADDED AND
  WORKING! I've had several requests for it, enable with USE="suspend2" or apply the
  separate suspend2 patch on top of no-sources separately. Also added several other
  patches such as jen axboe's io sched cleanups patch for mm.
* Oh, and I thought I'd add - the broken-out is broken on A LOT of patches.
* The final patch is all fixed and working though, so I suggest just using it.

-{ Patchset-Specific }-
- No-sources is a kernel patchset based on Andrew Morton's -mm patchset. It contains
  numerous user-requested features, other things gathered from various sources, and 
  some of our own items/patches to make it no-certified.

"No-sources was founded during the end of love-source's reign by JasonF and myself.
 Our intention was to create a patchset that would be able to continue on regardless 
 of maintainer and still live in the spirit of -love's original -mm  base and featureset. 
 Given there have been numerous changes throughout the releases, including different 
 maintainers, but I believe through this philosophy a useful patchset can continue to be made."

-{ Changelog > 2.6.17-no5 }-
* Sort of a 'different' maintaining style now, patches are 100% better
* Suspend2 available with USE="suspend2" or apply the patch manually
* NoSched series re-worked
* Staircase now has all the additional idleprio, etc patches from -ck
* Success rate increased 100% now that klibc was dropped from -mm
* Have new filesystems like cdfs, unionfs, shfs, squashfs <- all working now
* The awesome IO-Scheduler cleanups from Jen Axboe were included
* Tons of hot-fixes over -mm included
* Joydev Analog-To-Digital patch included 
* Updating linux-phc to 0.2.6 for 2.6.18
* One sane kernel maintainer still doesn't have CFQ as the default! 
(we'll see how CFQ performs, I'll compare IO schedulers head-to-head with reiserfs, and reiser4:
not ext3 because none of my boxes run it!)

-{ Suspend2 }-
- Use it how you normally use suspend2*
- Tested and working on one of my boxes, so hopefully it works on everyone's box
